The New Cabinet.
It appears to be settled that four
members of the new Cabinet have
been finally chosen as follows :
Sec. of State—W. Q. GBESHAM, of Ills.
Sec. of Treasury—J. G. CARLISLE,
of Ky.
Sec. of War—D. S. LAMONT, of N. Y.
P. M. General—W. S. BISSELL, of
N. Y.
These are all from the North except­ing
Mr. CAKLISLE, who is divided
from'the North in his Covington home
opposite Cincinnati only by the Ohio
river, and who was a Union man during
the war. The South will doubtless
have two additional members of the
Cabinet, one of whom may be J. RAN­DOLPH
TUCKEB, of Yirginia, as Attor­ney
General, and tho other Mr. SMITH,
of Georgia, or Mir. HERBERT, of Ala­bama.
New England is yet without a chosen
Cabinet officer. It is not probable
that she will be omitted, and it is safe
to assume that some distinctively
Western man will be called to the
circle of the constitutional advise of
the President.
It is an open secret, says the Phila­delphia
Times, that half a score of men,
have declined Cabinet appointments
under the new administration. The
time was when such positions were eag­erly
sought for, but to-day there are
very fow competent men who are desir­ous
such honors. It is known that the
whole four now accepted as positively
fixed for the new Cabinet, would have
declined their new honors but for their
desire to oblige the new President and
aid the country.
President and Ex-President.
Senator Stanford has some new ideas
on the old question of what to do with
ex-presidents. There has been no yery
good opportunity of late tp settle this
question experimentally, the stock of
ex-presidents on hand having been at
no time inconveniently large. Mr.
Harrison's case will bring up the sub­ject
in a practioal form and already
there are many suggestions as to his
future. He has been recommended to
practice law at Indianapolis, to edit a
paper at New York, to become a judge,
to lecture, to go into railroading, in­surance
or some other corparate enter­prise.
Mr. Stanford wants to make
.him professor of law in the Leland
Stanford University. This would be a
very nice thing for Mr. Harrison, as
Stanford pays good salaries and there
are not enough students in his univer­sity
to make the duties of the profes-
BOIS very exacting. At the same time
it would be a fine advertisement for the
young institution to have an ex-Presi­dent
in its faculty, and as advertising
in one form or another is the life of a
modern college there could be no ques­tion
of his earning the salary. Be­sides,
thero is no telling how much his
political health might revive in the
glorious climate of California.
President Harrison will join in the in­auguration
ceremonies and remain at
the White House with Mrs. McKee to
receive Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. Im­mediately
after the inauguration cere­monies,
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
McKee and their family, he will go di­rect
from the White House to the rail­way
station, and will leave Washington
for. Indianapolis by an early afternoon
train. They will break the journey at
Pittsburg, where they will stop over
night and spend Sunday with friends.
On Monday morning they will start
for Indianapolis, where they will ar­rive
that evening. Mrs. McKee will
opefi up her father's Indianapolis home
and remain with him during the spring
and early summer. It is |the Presi­dent's
desire to go to Cape May, and it
is quite certain that he will pass the
midsummer months there with his
children and grandchildren, to fill the
cottage with the family life, upon
which he will be more than ever de­pendent.

Electric Roads; '
Writing from New York to the Phil­adelphia
Press, "Holland" has some
interesting gossip in regard to electric
railways. He refers to a possible^elec­tric
road from New York to New Haven
and Springfield, and.ggyg:
"The Connecticuti>?oject is to build
from the suburb? of New York a series
of electric railways, each one connect­ing
a large.fcMllage x>r town with the
next largeivillage, and ultimately thus
creating:/an electric road which may
practically bisect the state. , Probably
,it:j£as in view of this threatening com­petition
that the New Haven managers
fn four-tracking their road recently, so
constructed it as to make two of the
tracks available for electric service if it
should be deemed wise by and by.
"Mr. Pierpont Mbrgan, Russell Sage,
and others of the greater railway finan­ciers
are reported to* be of the opinion
that this marvelous development of
suburban electric car travel may com­pel
the greater railways to devote all
their energies to obtaining through
travel for long distances ana the trans­portation
of freight more economically
and profitably than|s now done. Hen­ry
Yillard goes even further, asserting
that within the next? ten years electric­ity
will have supplatited steam upon all
the trunk lines.
With regard to the recent purchase
of the Old Colony system by the Con­solidated,
he says :
If ^.the report be true that tho New
Yorl£ and New" Haven railroad, not sat­isfied
with the captitre of the Old Col­ony
system, which* covers all south­eastern
Massachusetts and much of
Rhode Island, has;- also secured the
New London and Northern railroad,
then that corporation has very hand­somely
flanked Mr. McLeod and his
associates who recently snatched the
Connecticut river railroad from the
hand of the New Haven people just as
their fingers were closing upon that
prize. The New London and Northern
not only parallels the Connecticut
River, but it has a terminal at the best
harbor on the New England coast, and
by alliance with the Contral Vermont
reaches Montreal, and in that direction,
therefore, is a powerful rival, not only
of the Connecticut River, but also of
the Boston and Maine system.
"After all, it can only be taken as
another indication qf that higher intel­ligence
or perhaps that greater capital
which is inspiring these extraordinary
railway movementsiin New England.
The secret springs cannot much longer
be concealed, and it is said here that
within a year there will be revealed
perhaps the most gigantic railway deal
and consolidation that has occurred for
many years east of the Mississippi
river."
A Little Railway Squabble.
The general freight officials of the
Consolidated and New York and New
England roads are involved in a little
squabble which is inconveniencing
shippers not a little.
The trouble seems to be in regard to
switching cars from one. road to the
other. This refers only to cars inten­ded
for private sidings. Formerly 100
weight extra was charged by the roads
for this service. Now the New Haven
road has issued orders notifying the
New England road that hereafter a
charge of $5 a car will be made for
such switching, and that cars will not
be taken unless so billed and the
charges prepaid. While the New Eng­land
does not object to the charge the
officials refuse to collect the charge
for the New Haven road and give them
the prepaid bill they require.
In a few cases satisfactory arrange­ments
have been made by manufactur­ers
who have been annoyed by the dif­ficultly
in this oity, but at present there
are fifteen cars in the New England
yard in this city waiting to be trans­ferred
to sidings in the Consolidated
yard. The agents of both roads want
to accomodate the shippers, but can­not
do this, unless they disobey or­ders.
That's the way the situation
stands at present.—Danbury News.
No Pretty Girls in Bridgeport,
When Manager Leggett of the Wil­bur
Opera company arrived in town he
advertised for chorus girls. Eighteen
young ladies responded and applied for
positions. He wanted chorus girls to
travel with the show, not to appear
here. In every town he advertises in
this way, in order to keep the chorus
full. Of the eighteen several thought
they were wanted to appear here and
no more, and refused to travel. Some
wanted to travel with their mothers,
sisters, cousins and aunts. Others could
not be aceepted under any conditions
as they did not fill the requirements
which were that they must be " young
and good looking.'' The result was that
he did not accept one out of the eight­een,
and there is that much more op­eratic
talent left in Bridgeport.—News.
Obituary.
STEPHEN Ci. FERRIS.
Deacon Stephen G. Ferris has after
a long, useful and unblemished life,
reaohing beyond the scriptural three
score years and ten, " fallen on sleep."
His life has been one of those quiet,
sweet and wholesome exhalations of
unalloyed goodness. To do his Master's
will and help and bless his fellow men,
was the constant desire of his noble
heart and the exhalation of his daily
life. Modest, unostentatious and re­tiring,
as has ever been his career, the
world is nevertheless greatly better for
his having livecl. Such a life and such
a death are their own most fitting eu­logy.
No more solacing or affluent leg­acy
could he have left his bereaved
ones than the memory of his holy life
and his unnumbered good deeds.

1878 inclusive, I have practically no
extra copies, but from 1879 onwards to
1891, thirteen volumes, I have still
copies on hand for distribution. Agri­cultural
Societies, Farmer's Clubs,
Granges, Public Libraries, and private
citizens, may obtain them free while
the-supply lasts, either by express or
mail. Orders by mail should, be ac­companied
by postage, for the largest
volumes, 23 cents. I am desirous of
obtaining-any of the volumes previous
to '79, to complete seta, and will gladly
pay postage or express on any copies
that may be sent to me.

Meeting of the Sub-Committee.
The sub-committee of the mayors of
Connecticut cities and the representa­tives
of various street railroads in the
state, held a conference yesterday af­ternoon
in Hartford. The meeting
was held for the purpose of discussing a
bill to be presented • to the legislature
for the regulation of street railroads,
one of the most important points was
taxation. Some of those present thought
that the franchise should be taxed. The
railroad men were of the opinion that
the fairest method would be a tax based
on the gross receipts. Statistics whioh
were prepared by John M. Taylor, vice
president of the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Co. were read by Mayor
Hyslo. Representatives of the railroads
then withdrew from the conference and
the mayors went into executive session.
A committee is to be appointed to
draft the proposed bill.
The Lenten Season.
Lent commences to-morrow and will
continue for forty days. In the Catho­lic
church the usual special devotions
will be held during the holy season.
W ednesday being Ash Wednesday in
commemoration of the day the Saviour
was betrayed by Judas, blessed ashes
will be the prominent feature at ser­vices
in the morning and evening.
Every Tuesday evening during Lent
the programme in the Catholic churches
will be rosary, sermon and benediction
of the Blessed Sacrament. Friday
evenings the stations of the cross will
be rehearsed.
The Episcopal circular from Bishop
McMahon of Hartford, read at all the
masses Sunday, set forth the Btrict obli­gations
which all Catholic communi­cants
are expected to observe during
the season of fast and abstinence. The
second and last Saturdays are days of
abstinence, while every day except
Sunday are fasting days of obligation.
Flesh meat is allowed at all three meals
on Sunday, but can only be partaken
of at one meal on other days. Children
and those whose work is of a laborious
character are exempted from the fast.
John Ready's Escape. ~
Saturday evening John Ready, sex­ton
of St. John's R. C. Church, nar­rowly
escaped being burned to death.
His assistant, who is not acquainted
with the workings of the large boiler
in the basement of the church, filled
the furnace with coal and did not
properly attend the dampers, leaving
no escape for the gas. Mr. Ready dis­covered
the steam running ' low and
examined the fire. When he opened
the door of the furnace, a cloud of
flame and gas enveloped his head and
body, setting fire to his cldthing and
hair. He tore the burning clothing
from off his body and quenched his
burning hair, but not before his eye­brows
and mustache were completely
singed off and a considerable portion
of the hair on his head was burned.
The flesh was not burned very severe­ly.
His eyes were injured by the heat
and for a time he was unable to see,
but to-day his eyesight is only slightly
impaired, and he has suffered no seri­ous
results.—Stamford Advocate. ;
= The Connecticut Mutual.
The annual statement of the Connec­ticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company,
and President Greene's annual report
to its members, are printed elsewhere
to-day.
The assets have now crossed $60,000,-
000 and are almost $61,000,000, having
increased oyer $1,000,000 during the
year. Indeed, the company has had a
year of healthy growth in all direc­tions.
Its surplus, already over $6,-
000,000, has increased $367,774, and the
total amount of insurance has increased
nearly $3,000,000 and reaches the im­mense
figure of $157,737,302. And
everybody knows this will all be paid
when it is due.
The strength of the Connecticut Mu­tual
is something people try to meas­ure
sometimes, but they never question
it. Its assets are admirably invested
and its management is clean and capa­ble.
The real estate investments of the
Connecticut Mutual were criticised
years a«o, but since 1879 the company
has sola real estate that cost it $8,907,-
719 and has got for it $10,553,625, thus
gaining $1,645,906 out of what some
croakers said must bring heavy loss.
The test of all these things i« time, and
that is the test that the Connecticut
Mutual is conduoted to meet.
A most interesting and suggestive
change in public opinion is indicated
by the comment that is heard upon
this company. Some years ago its
"conservatism" was thrown out rather
as a term of reproach in various quar­ters.
To-day that same conservatism
is cited as the foundation for the faith
which is everywhere felt in it and its
management. The course of the com­pany
has been the same all along. Col­onel
Greene has his policy and
his ideals. He has every year ex­plained
fully to policyholders and the
public his notions of how the business
of life insurance should be conducted,
and he has conducted it that way. Now
he finds the drift of sentiment his way,
and the company cited as an illustra­tion
of strength and safety.
It is big enough to be independent;
it takes only such business as is worth
taking; it meets all its obligations ; it
divides a yearly increasing dividend
among its insured ; its policy draws to
it the more conservative people, who
are consequently by their nature the
better risks ; and it is daily fulfilling
the purposes for which it is chartered
and is sure to do so as long as its pres
ent policy holds.

"THE KIND THAT CURES."
Musical Notes.
Music has been divided into four
classes known-respeetively as-Classical,
Standard, Popular, and Trash. Of
these the first is often misjudged, many
persons thinking that music called clas­sical
must of necessity be dry, difficult
and uninteresting.
Now classical simply means the high­est
and best, and as human nature gen­erally
tries to get the best of whatever
is to be had, it seems strange that all
who love and seek music should not
follow the same rule.
It is true that some music of this kind
is too deep and too difficult for any but
a profane student, just as some litera­ture
is interesting only to the learned
scholar, but among the vast and rich
stores of classical music probably some­thing
could be found to interest every­one,
and a taste once formed would nat­urally
grow until nothing but the best
would ever satisfy.
The tune known as "Weber,'' and
generally set to the hymn " Softly now
the light of day," is universally loved
and admired. It is purely classical, be­ing
taken from the opening chorus of
Yon Weber's opera " Oberin." Another
tune called "Handel," is eo wedded
to the hymn "Awake, my soul, stretch
every nerve," that no one would think
of singing it to any other music. The
author whose name it bears is an older
classical writer than Von Weber.
These are two examples of beautiful,
and even taking classical music, and it
would greatly benefit every student
and lover of music to explore still fur
ther this boundless field, assured that
they would meet new beauties at every
turn, and find abundant reward for all
their labor. H. H., JB.

The New Cabinet.
It appears to be settled that four
members of the new Cabinet have
been finally chosen as follows :
Sec. of State—W. Q. GBESHAM, of Ills.
Sec. of Treasury—J. G. CARLISLE,
of Ky.
Sec. of War—D. S. LAMONT, of N. Y.
P. M. General—W. S. BISSELL, of
N. Y.
These are all from the North except­ing
Mr. CAKLISLE, who is divided
from'the North in his Covington home
opposite Cincinnati only by the Ohio
river, and who was a Union man during
the war. The South will doubtless
have two additional members of the
Cabinet, one of whom may be J. RAN­DOLPH
TUCKEB, of Yirginia, as Attor­ney
General, and tho other Mr. SMITH,
of Georgia, or Mir. HERBERT, of Ala­bama.
New England is yet without a chosen
Cabinet officer. It is not probable
that she will be omitted, and it is safe
to assume that some distinctively
Western man will be called to the
circle of the constitutional advise of
the President.
It is an open secret, says the Phila­delphia
Times, that half a score of men,
have declined Cabinet appointments
under the new administration. The
time was when such positions were eag­erly
sought for, but to-day there are
very fow competent men who are desir­ous
such honors. It is known that the
whole four now accepted as positively
fixed for the new Cabinet, would have
declined their new honors but for their
desire to oblige the new President and
aid the country.
President and Ex-President.
Senator Stanford has some new ideas
on the old question of what to do with
ex-presidents. There has been no yery
good opportunity of late tp settle this
question experimentally, the stock of
ex-presidents on hand having been at
no time inconveniently large. Mr.
Harrison's case will bring up the sub­ject
in a practioal form and already
there are many suggestions as to his
future. He has been recommended to
practice law at Indianapolis, to edit a
paper at New York, to become a judge,
to lecture, to go into railroading, in­surance
or some other corparate enter­prise.
Mr. Stanford wants to make
.him professor of law in the Leland
Stanford University. This would be a
very nice thing for Mr. Harrison, as
Stanford pays good salaries and there
are not enough students in his univer­sity
to make the duties of the profes-
BOIS very exacting. At the same time
it would be a fine advertisement for the
young institution to have an ex-Presi­dent
in its faculty, and as advertising
in one form or another is the life of a
modern college there could be no ques­tion
of his earning the salary. Be­sides,
thero is no telling how much his
political health might revive in the
glorious climate of California.
President Harrison will join in the in­auguration
ceremonies and remain at
the White House with Mrs. McKee to
receive Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. Im­mediately
after the inauguration cere­monies,
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
McKee and their family, he will go di­rect
from the White House to the rail­way
station, and will leave Washington
for. Indianapolis by an early afternoon
train. They will break the journey at
Pittsburg, where they will stop over
night and spend Sunday with friends.
On Monday morning they will start
for Indianapolis, where they will ar­rive
that evening. Mrs. McKee will
opefi up her father's Indianapolis home
and remain with him during the spring
and early summer. It is |the Presi­dent's
desire to go to Cape May, and it
is quite certain that he will pass the
midsummer months there with his
children and grandchildren, to fill the
cottage with the family life, upon
which he will be more than ever de­pendent.
TERSE TALES OF THE TIMES.
Mrs. E. P. W«ed is still confined to

A tegular meeting of the Fire Police
will be held this evening.

Attorney F. W. Perry has sccured a
pension of $12 per, month for James
W. Crozier, ?oject is to build
from the suburb? of New York a series
of electric railways, each one connect­ing
a large.fcMllage x>r town with the
next largeivillage, and ultimately thus
creating:/an electric road which may
practically bisect the state. , Probably
,it:j£as in view of this threatening com­petition
that the New Haven managers
fn four-tracking their road recently, so
constructed it as to make two of the
tracks available for electric service if it
should be deemed wise by and by.
"Mr. Pierpont Mbrgan, Russell Sage,
and others of the greater railway finan­ciers
are reported to* be of the opinion
that this marvelous development of
suburban electric car travel may com­pel
the greater railways to devote all
their energies to obtaining through
travel for long distances ana the trans­portation
of freight more economically
and profitably than|s now done. Hen­ry
Yillard goes even further, asserting
that within the next? ten years electric­ity
will have supplatited steam upon all
the trunk lines.
With regard to the recent purchase
of the Old Colony system by the Con­solidated,
he says :
If ^.the report be true that tho New
Yorl£ and New" Haven railroad, not sat­isfied
with the captitre of the Old Col­ony
system, which* covers all south­eastern
Massachusetts and much of
Rhode Island, has;- also secured the
New London and Northern railroad,
then that corporation has very hand­somely
flanked Mr. McLeod and his
associates who recently snatched the
Connecticut river railroad from the
hand of the New Haven people just as
their fingers were closing upon that
prize. The New London and Northern
not only parallels the Connecticut
River, but it has a terminal at the best
harbor on the New England coast, and
by alliance with the Contral Vermont
reaches Montreal, and in that direction,
therefore, is a powerful rival, not only
of the Connecticut River, but also of
the Boston and Maine system.
"After all, it can only be taken as
another indication qf that higher intel­ligence
or perhaps that greater capital
which is inspiring these extraordinary
railway movementsiin New England.
The secret springs cannot much longer
be concealed, and it is said here that
within a year there will be revealed
perhaps the most gigantic railway deal
and consolidation that has occurred for
many years east of the Mississippi
river."
A Little Railway Squabble.
The general freight officials of the
Consolidated and New York and New
England roads are involved in a little
squabble which is inconveniencing
shippers not a little.
The trouble seems to be in regard to
switching cars from one. road to the
other. This refers only to cars inten­ded
for private sidings. Formerly 100
weight extra was charged by the roads
for this service. Now the New Haven
road has issued orders notifying the
New England road that hereafter a
charge of $5 a car will be made for
such switching, and that cars will not
be taken unless so billed and the
charges prepaid. While the New Eng­land
does not object to the charge the
officials refuse to collect the charge
for the New Haven road and give them
the prepaid bill they require.
In a few cases satisfactory arrange­ments
have been made by manufactur­ers
who have been annoyed by the dif­ficultly
in this oity, but at present there
are fifteen cars in the New England
yard in this city waiting to be trans­ferred
to sidings in the Consolidated
yard. The agents of both roads want
to accomodate the shippers, but can­not
do this, unless they disobey or­ders.
That's the way the situation
stands at present.—Danbury News.
No Pretty Girls in Bridgeport,
When Manager Leggett of the Wil­bur
Opera company arrived in town he
advertised for chorus girls. Eighteen
young ladies responded and applied for
positions. He wanted chorus girls to
travel with the show, not to appear
here. In every town he advertises in
this way, in order to keep the chorus
full. Of the eighteen several thought
they were wanted to appear here and
no more, and refused to travel. Some
wanted to travel with their mothers,
sisters, cousins and aunts. Others could
not be aceepted under any conditions
as they did not fill the requirements
which were that they must be " young
and good looking.'' The result was that
he did not accept one out of the eight­een,
and there is that much more op­eratic
talent left in Bridgeport.—News.
Obituary.
STEPHEN Ci. FERRIS.
Deacon Stephen G. Ferris has after
a long, useful and unblemished life,
reaohing beyond the scriptural three
score years and ten, " fallen on sleep."
His life has been one of those quiet,
sweet and wholesome exhalations of
unalloyed goodness. To do his Master's
will and help and bless his fellow men,
was the constant desire of his noble
heart and the exhalation of his daily
life. Modest, unostentatious and re­tiring,
as has ever been his career, the
world is nevertheless greatly better for
his having livecl. Such a life and such
a death are their own most fitting eu­logy.
No more solacing or affluent leg­acy
could he have left his bereaved
ones than the memory of his holy life
and his unnumbered good deeds.

Tried to Burn the House.
An attempt to burn the house of
John Fisher, in Bridgeport, was made
yesterday. The fire bug raised a rear
parlor window and threw in a bag of
inflammable material which blazed
and ignited the furniture. Timely
discovery prevented the destruction of
the house.
Divorce Proceedings Brought.
Divorce proceedings were instituted
yesterday against Charles S. Elzea of
South Norwalk by his wife Carrie Piatt
of Bridgeport. They were married
five years ago. She alleges intolerable
cruelty, desertion and habithal intem­perance.
The case is returnable to the
March term of the superior court.

A Winsted lawyer wanted a Bible,
the other day, to administer the oath
to a client, but after visiting both
newspaper offices and every store on
the street he had to return without
one. This is a sal comment on our
journalistic brethren in Winsted. A
newspaper office without a Bible is as
badly off as as without a dictionary.—

Meeting of the Sub-Committee.
The sub-committee of the mayors of
Connecticut cities and the representa­tives
of various street railroads in the
state, held a conference yesterday af­ternoon
in Hartford. The meeting
was held for the purpose of discussing a
bill to be presented • to the legislature
for the regulation of street railroads,
one of the most important points was
taxation. Some of those present thought
that the franchise should be taxed. The
railroad men were of the opinion that
the fairest method would be a tax based
on the gross receipts. Statistics whioh
were prepared by John M. Taylor, vice
president of the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Co. were read by Mayor
Hyslo. Representatives of the railroads
then withdrew from the conference and
the mayors went into executive session.
A committee is to be appointed to
draft the proposed bill.
The Lenten Season.
Lent commences to-morrow and will
continue for forty days. In the Catho­lic
church the usual special devotions
will be held during the holy season.
W ednesday being Ash Wednesday in
commemoration of the day the Saviour
was betrayed by Judas, blessed ashes
will be the prominent feature at ser­vices
in the morning and evening.
Every Tuesday evening during Lent
the programme in the Catholic churches
will be rosary, sermon and benediction
of the Blessed Sacrament. Friday
evenings the stations of the cross will
be rehearsed.
The Episcopal circular from Bishop
McMahon of Hartford, read at all the
masses Sunday, set forth the Btrict obli­gations
which all Catholic communi­cants
are expected to observe during
the season of fast and abstinence. The
second and last Saturdays are days of
abstinence, while every day except
Sunday are fasting days of obligation.
Flesh meat is allowed at all three meals
on Sunday, but can only be partaken
of at one meal on other days. Children
and those whose work is of a laborious
character are exempted from the fast.
John Ready's Escape. ~
Saturday evening John Ready, sex­ton
of St. John's R. C. Church, nar­rowly
escaped being burned to death.
His assistant, who is not acquainted
with the workings of the large boiler
in the basement of the church, filled
the furnace with coal and did not
properly attend the dampers, leaving
no escape for the gas. Mr. Ready dis­covered
the steam running ' low and
examined the fire. When he opened
the door of the furnace, a cloud of
flame and gas enveloped his head and
body, setting fire to his cldthing and
hair. He tore the burning clothing
from off his body and quenched his
burning hair, but not before his eye­brows
and mustache were completely
singed off and a considerable portion
of the hair on his head was burned.
The flesh was not burned very severe­ly.
His eyes were injured by the heat
and for a time he was unable to see,
but to-day his eyesight is only slightly
impaired, and he has suffered no seri­ous
results.—Stamford Advocate. ;
= The Connecticut Mutual.
The annual statement of the Connec­ticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company,
and President Greene's annual report
to its members, are printed elsewhere
to-day.
The assets have now crossed $60,000,-
000 and are almost $61,000,000, having
increased oyer $1,000,000 during the
year. Indeed, the company has had a
year of healthy growth in all direc­tions.
Its surplus, already over $6,-
000,000, has increased $367,774, and the
total amount of insurance has increased
nearly $3,000,000 and reaches the im­mense
figure of $157,737,302. And
everybody knows this will all be paid
when it is due.
The strength of the Connecticut Mu­tual
is something people try to meas­ure
sometimes, but they never question
it. Its assets are admirably invested
and its management is clean and capa­ble.
The real estate investments of the
Connecticut Mutual were criticised
years a«o, but since 1879 the company
has sola real estate that cost it $8,907,-
719 and has got for it $10,553,625, thus
gaining $1,645,906 out of what some
croakers said must bring heavy loss.
The test of all these things i« time, and
that is the test that the Connecticut
Mutual is conduoted to meet.
A most interesting and suggestive
change in public opinion is indicated
by the comment that is heard upon
this company. Some years ago its
"conservatism" was thrown out rather
as a term of reproach in various quar­ters.
To-day that same conservatism
is cited as the foundation for the faith
which is everywhere felt in it and its
management. The course of the com­pany
has been the same all along. Col­onel
Greene has his policy and
his ideals. He has every year ex­plained
fully to policyholders and the
public his notions of how the business
of life insurance should be conducted,
and he has conducted it that way. Now
he finds the drift of sentiment his way,
and the company cited as an illustra­tion
of strength and safety.
It is big enough to be independent;
it takes only such business as is worth
taking; it meets all its obligations ; it
divides a yearly increasing dividend
among its insured ; its policy draws to
it the more conservative people, who
are consequently by their nature the
better risks ; and it is daily fulfilling
the purposes for which it is chartered
and is sure to do so as long as its pres
ent policy holds.

Musical Notes.
Music has been divided into four
classes known-respeetively as-Classical,
Standard, Popular, and Trash. Of
these the first is often misjudged, many
persons thinking that music called clas­sical
must of necessity be dry, difficult
and uninteresting.
Now classical simply means the high­est
and best, and as human nature gen­erally
tries to get the best of whatever
is to be had, it seems strange that all
who love and seek music should not
follow the same rule.
It is true that some music of this kind
is too deep and too difficult for any but
a profane student, just as some litera­ture
is interesting only to the learned
scholar, but among the vast and rich
stores of classical music probably some­thing
could be found to interest every­one,
and a taste once formed would nat­urally
grow until nothing but the best
would ever satisfy.
The tune known as "Weber,'' and
generally set to the hymn " Softly now
the light of day," is universally loved
and admired. It is purely classical, be­ing
taken from the opening chorus of
Yon Weber's opera " Oberin." Another
tune called "Handel," is eo wedded
to the hymn "Awake, my soul, stretch
every nerve," that no one would think
of singing it to any other music. The
author whose name it bears is an older
classical writer than Von Weber.
These are two examples of beautiful,
and even taking classical music, and it
would greatly benefit every student
and lover of music to explore still fur
ther this boundless field, assured that
they would meet new beauties at every
turn, and find abundant reward for all
their labor. H. H., JB.
